📋 About This Mod
The Eldergleam root meshes are very low poly by todays standards and it is made even more obvious by their large size. I increased their polygon count and smoothed out the meshes. I created higher poly meshes for both the static and animated roots.
Versions:
Two versions are available, "1" makes use of vanilla texture paths and will be compatible with any vanilla texture replacer. "2" is for use with Skyrim 3D Trees and Plants as it uses the Gildergreen texture path from this mod (requires 3D Trees and Plants).
Compatibility:
This mod replaces only the mesh files, no plugin/ESP included. No textures are included in the download, your own load order will determine the actual textures used.
Installation:
Use your preferred mod manager to install as per normal.

⚠️ Cons

For Skyrim players who notice the Eldergleam's roots and want a subtle visual upgrade without mod management hassle. Perfect for purists who prefer mesh-only changes. Skip if you're after overhauled landscapes or new tree models—this is a single-tree fix.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a mesh replacer, just extract the files into your Data folder or use a mod manager—no load order worries.
- If you use other tree mods, check if they also modify the Eldergleam roots to avoid conflicts.
- Test near the Eldergleam tree in-game to see the difference; if you don't like it, simply remove the files.
